The benefit of experience . . .

Crawley manager John Gregory, who turns 60 next week, is in his seventh managerial role in English football, having previously taken charge at Portsmouth, Plymouth Argyle, Wycombe Wanderers, Aston Villa, Derby County and QPR - as well as clubs in Israel and Kazakhstan

Dannie Bulman, Mike Jones, Jamie Proctor and Mat Sadler have been offered new terms and have until the end of May to decide their future.

"Telling players they haven't been offered a new contract is one of the hardest aspects of management," said much-travelled former Aston Villa manager John Gregory, who last week extended his deal at Crawley until 2016. "It does not get any easier over time."

"We will have a competitive playing budget for next season but, unfortunately, some of the players who have been part of the journey this club has been on for the last few years will not be with us," Gregory told the
club website.
"I need to reinvigorate and refresh the squad."
